Is there an easy way to highlight text in an email template, like we can do in the page building template?
Yes there is!
In the template builder:
- Click the blue “More” at the bottom of the body text box
- Click the highlighter icon to the right of the text color and left of the unordered list option
- Select the color you would like to highlight
- Type out the body content
Additionally, you can select the text you would like to highlight and follow the steps above to just highlight that section.
Hi @RNomura0 , happy to help you on the email text highlight.
Go to the Design Manager in HubSpot:
- Click on the Email Templates tab.
- Click on the template that you want to highlight text in.
- Click on the More button at the bottom of the body text box.
- Click on the Highlighter icon to the right of the text color and left of the unordered list option.
- Select the color that you would like to highlight.
- Type out the body content that you want to highlight.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind when highlighting text in HubSpot email templates:
- You can only highlight text that is in the body of the email template. You cannot highlight text in the header, footer, or preheader.
- The highlighter icon is only visible when you are in the Design Manager. If you are previewing the email template in your inbox, the highlighter icon will not be visible.
- The highlighting will only be visible to recipients who are using a compatible email client. If a recipient is using an incompatible email client, the highlighted text will appear as normal text.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
